About this deal

Next, using wire strippers to strip about half an inch of insulation from each of the exposed wires in the wire. Step 7 In 1912 Hubbell rotated his tandem pins by 90 degrees to arrive at the parallel flat pin configuration still widely used today.

These antique style plugs go perfectly with the cloth-covered wire I am using for my custom lighting setups. I appreciate that they have polarity prongs as well as being quite low profile. The design on the front is subtle but effective. Knapp’s design was obsoleted in the US before the modern National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) designations, but is still used in some other countries including China, Argentina and Australia. Hubbell had introduced its own parallel flat pin configuration in 1912. In 1915 there were from 15 to 20 different types of blades and from 15 to 30 different types of receptacles. The line of each was not interchangeable with competing lines. Industrial style wall light shades.

The existence of both “tandem” and parallel pin configurations had led to the introduction in 1914 of some receptacles having both configurations of slots and others having “T” slots.Plugs with parallel flat pins, such as the “Fort Wayne” design were in common use by 1886, and flush receptacles, such as the “Bryant Electrical Company” design, by 1902. H. HUBBELL. SEPARABLE ATTACHMENT PLUG. WARNING!Improper or incorrect wiring of an electrical device can cause bodily harm, and death.We recommend that you consult with a licensed electrician who is familiar with wiring. In the other patent, the same type of plug was used with various three-way adaptors that could be connected to lampholders or “a receptacle of any ordinary type”. Following the lead set by the lamp manufacturers in standardizing lamp bases, a conference of the plug and receptacle manufacturers, including Hubbell, was arranged with a view to agreeing a standard configuration. It was a time of great expansion in the use of electrical appliances such as fans, heaters, and cookers, as well as portable devices such as hair curlers and irons, and the public wanted interchangeability.

Hubbell evidently soon found the round pin design unsatisfactory as a subsequent patent filed on May 27, 1904 shows lampholder adaptors similar to those of his first patent for use with plugs having tandem flat pins. Hubbell’s parallel pin configuration was preferred, but Hubbell rebelled against standardization, and refused to agree, asserting that it had common law rights in the dimensions of its line. The other conference members pressed on regardless, and agreed to standardize on Hubbell’s parallel flat pin configuration and dimensions. Hubbell’s court action only served to confirm the legality of their activities, to the great benefit of the US public.Next, using wire strippers, strip the wire pulling the outer sheath apart to reveal the individual wires inside. Expose about an inch and a half of the inside wires. Step 4 In 1904 at the World’s Fair in St. Louis scientists and engineers from around the world realized for the first time that standards for electrotechnology were urgently needed. Once you are finished, plug the male end into a powered outlet and test the female end with a voltage tester. If the tester reads 120 volts, then you are good to go! The earliest American patent application for an earthed plug appears to be 11 January 1915 by George P. Knapp, on behalf of the Harvey Hubbell company.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. For decades, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) tried to develop a universal domestic power plug, but time and again political and economic issues threw a spanner in the works. In 1986, the IEC finally presented the universal standard plug (type N) to the world, but unfortunately the initial enthusiasm had dampened.It wasn’t until 2007 that Brazil became the first country in the world to adopttype Nas its standard wall outlet and plug top. The establishment oftype Nas the sole standard was motivated by the urge to sort out the motley collection of plugs in use throughout the country. Although polarized outlets and plugs were introduced in the 1880’s, they were not popular at first and did not become standard until the mid-20th century. The earliest National Electric Code (NEC) that we can find that references polarized receptacles is the 1962 edition, which required outlets to be both grounding (3-prong) and polarized. Despite Hubbel’s objections, other manufacturers adopted the Hubbell pattern, omitting Hubbell’s detents, and by 1915 the use of Hubbell’s configuration was widespread. In 1919 Hubbell unsuccessfully attempted to get an injunction to prevent other manufacturers from making receptacles and plugs to the dimensions used by Hubbell.
